WinBorg XP July 2008

6 different flavours of Windows XP Professional SP3 to choose from - a 'More Info' option is also available that will tell you what each option installs. - the choices involve whether you want: > to use the driverpacks > to install the OS without any tweaks or addons > to install the WinBorg theme which is the logon screen (just like in all previous releases) and the name of 'My Computer' is renamed to 'The Collective'. The alternative is to install the OS without these 'Borg' elements.

An updated version of another one of my releases is also included. The only changes are the anti-malware apps were updated to the latest definitions.

Driverpacks

Added feature: the Driverpacks selection utility. - This starts just before the billboard text so you can de-select the packs you don't want to waste time unpacking. You can also set the style of your screen resolution. - the picture is for the March release, the packs have all been updated.

The Operating System

The OS is Windows XP Professional with SP3 v5512 integrated. You should not need to download any further hotfixes, and you should be able to 'validate' at any time with any OS you install from this DVD. When you visit Windows Update, you do not have to download or install anything in order to use it, the necessary files have already been integrated.

- there is an option to install XP with the standard icons if you really need

Pre-installed apps and updates - Java Runtime Environment 6 update 6 - MS .Net Framework AIO (all versions) --- note: the reason for forcing this installation on you is that a fix has been installed called the Tool-Tip-Fixer 1.0.1 (see addons) - it requires Net Framework 2.0 for it to work. And so do many other applications. Every OS option on this DVD installs this so i'm sorry if this isn't a good thing for you - it is for me! - the SPTD driver v1.56 - Sop's Visual Styles Pack - VMware Tools - Virtual PC Additions - XVID 1.1.3

Integrated addons Your control panel will have 59 objects after install, and the apps are all current as of date of release.
